Could Rakudo perhaps synchronise releases with parrot, so even if you hate me for using the tarball packages as hopefully days out of date, at least there's points in time where things are sane and I can show the world what Perl 6 looked like last week?

Alias: (from backscroll) Rakudo releases are synchronized with Parrot releases. Each Rakudo release comes out two days after a Parrot release, and is intended to be able to build/run with the just-released Parrot.

Coke: well, I'll probably give working against an installed parrot a shot again today or tomorrow, but I know that the last time I tried it there were some outstanding issues that are (afaik) unresolved.

Sorry to be a bother, but I screwed up the first time I posted a patch to trac (didn't read the submissions.pod carefully enough), and wanted to know if I did everything right this time: https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/839 ... anything other information I should have added here?
